Off to see the wizard... (well, JHF(A) anyway)

[FrogPrince]

I mobilise on the 12th of next month for a stint at JHF(A) supporting the AAC.

Any top tips for the comfy box ? Long-time TA but first-time mob so be gentle with me....

Be prepaired to read out the same stuff 2 or three times a day. Get spoken to and treated like a fookin idiot and watch the junioor ranks get treated like sh1t.

Apart fom that - not alot!

And don't forget, when some Army chinless wonder gives you a bollocking for walking past him, and demands to know "Don't you salute army officers in the RAF?", the correct answer is "No sir, we don't have army officers in the RAF".

Is this at KAF or at Bastion ?!?

I don't plan on wearing any scout badges or badges of rank around the place and I'm not exactly a spring chicken so that might keep 'em guessing....

If Herrick is anything like Telic, I wouldn't bother with a comfy box, by the time it gets there you will be ready to come home.

No MFO then...

Okay, no MFO then.

Day sack (w. laptop?), bergan and Rock Face type holdall. Sounds like KAF has shops aplenty if I forget anything !

What's the score with cameras nowadays ? MoD arranges for you to be shot at dawn and buried in unhallowed ground ?

 

[Marshalloftheraf]

Shocking that the Army still won't train you or others as 'Air Int O' - Just cuff it like normal...

I'm sure its just the same as IPB with GENFORCE!????



Barking!

I'm lucky to have been doing G2 since 1990 in one form or another. ( Still hoping that the AAC (V) will let me do something about this capability gap upon my return. )

Even better, Flt Lt C W at Waddo has kindly extended me an invitation to go down there for a few days of one-to-one tuition if I can squeeze it in between RMTC and OPTAG.

Can't firm anything up, though, until I go through the Chilwell sausage machine...

Going through Chilwell at the minute. OPTAG very soon then out to theatre.

BTW, is JHF(A) a big set-up ?
